(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Credit Parties the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.09 Letters of Credit

(a) The Borrower may request the Issuer to issue commercial or standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”; each, individually, a “Letter of Credit”) during the period from the Effective Date to the thirtieth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (A) the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders would not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Issuer by the delivery of a Credit Request, which shall be sent by facsimile in accordance with the Issuer’s standard procedures and shall be irrevocable (confirmed promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Credit Request manually signed by the Borrower), at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance (together with (x) to the extent requested by the Issuer and not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, copies of all agreements between the Borrower and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit pertaining to the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) a copy of the form of Letter of Credit (which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent), specifying (A) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, (B) the Borrower’s proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (C) the maximum amount to be available under such Letter of Credit, and (D) the requested dates of issuance and expiration. Such Credit Request shall be accompanied by a duly completed application for such Letter of Credit on such forms as may be made available from time to time by the Issuer and such other certificates, documents (including a reimbursement agreement) and other information as may be required by the Issuer in accordance with its customary procedures (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documentation”). Upon receipt of such Credit Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuer shall issue each requested Letter of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Documentation, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) be issued for the account of the Borrower and in support of obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower arising in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) have an expiration date which shall be not later than one year from the date of issuance thereof, but in any event, with respect to all Letters of Credit, five Business Days before the Revolving Maturity Date, provided that the expiration date of such Letter of Credit may be extended or such Letter of Credit may be renewed (but in any event shall have an expiration date that is not later than five Business Days before the Revolving Maturity Date), provided, further, that any renewal, or any extension of any expiry date, of a Letter of Credit shall constitute the issuance of such Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto and any security therefor and any guaranty pertaining thereto at any time existing.

(d) The Issuer shall promptly notify (i) each Lender of the Issuer’s receipt of a drawing request under any Letter of Credit, stating the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such drawing request and the date on which such request will be honored and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the amount of such drawing request and the date on which such request will be honored. Any failure of the Issuer to give or any delay in the Issuer’s giving any such notice shall not release or diminish the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender hereunder. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall have no obligation to any Lender or the Borrower other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuer, the Issuer shall have no liability to any Lender or the Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, including any such action negligently taken or negligently omitted to be taken by it.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer on demand therefor, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations then owing to the Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest thereon as provided in Section 3.01, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Issuer or any other Person. Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 5.02(b) shall have been satisfied, each drawing under any Letter of Credit unless otherwise reimbursed by the Borrower shall constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a Borrowing of a Base Rate Revolving Loan in the amount of such drawing without regard to the minimum and multiple requirements specified in Section 2.02(c). The Borrowing Date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the date of such drawing. In the event that the Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuer when due, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuer, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such payment in Dollars in immediately available funds on the Business Day the Issuer so notifies such Lender if such notice is given prior to 12:00 noon or, if such notice is given after 12:00 noon, such Lender shall make its Revolving Percentage of such payment available to the Issuer prior to 12:00 noon on the next succeeding Business Day.

(f) If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any Reimbursement Obligations available to the Issuer when due in accordance with Section 2.09(e), such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuer on such unpaid amount for each day from the date such payment is due until the date such amount is paid in full to the Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until (and including) the third Business Day after the date due and thereafter at the Base Rate. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 2.09(f) are several and not joint or joint and several, and the failure of any Lender to make available to the Issuer its Revolving Percentage of any Reimbursement Obligations when due in accordance with Section 2.09(e) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Revolving Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligations so available when so due, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make such other Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligations so available when so due.

(g) Whenever the Issuer receives a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation from or on behalf of the Borrower as to which the Issuer has received any payment from a Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(e), the Issuer shall promptly pay to such Lender an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such payment from or on behalf of the Borrower. If any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower and received by the Issuer with respect to any Letter of Credit is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Issuer for any reason and the Issuer has paid to any Lender any portion thereof, each such Lender shall forthwith pay over to the Issuer an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount which must be so returned by the Issuer.

(h) Each Lender, upon the demand of the Issuer, shall reimburse the Issuer, to the extent the Issuer has not been reimbursed by the Borrower after demand therefor, for the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Issuer in connection with the collection of amounts due under, and the preservation and enforcement of any rights conferred by, any Letter of Credit or the performance of the Issuer’s obligations as issuer of the Letters of Credit under this Agreement in respect thereof, to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such costs and expenses provided, however, no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent the same result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuer. The Issuer shall refund any costs and expenses reimbursed by such Lender that are subsequently recovered from the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof.

(i) The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.09, and the obligation of each Lender to make available to the Issuer the amounts set forth in this Section 2.09 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances, shall be made without reduction for any set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature whatsoever, may not be terminated, suspended or delayed for any reason whatsoever, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuer, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit), (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iv) the surrender or impairment of any collateral for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents, (v) the occurrence of any

Default or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.09, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s or such Lender’s obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall not have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuer. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.10 Cash Collateral Account

The Administrative Agent shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”). The Borrower shall from time to time make such deposits into the Cash Collateral Account as are required by this Agreement. The Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties, a Lien on and security interest in the Cash Collateral Account and all sums at any time and from time to time on deposit therein (the Cash Collateral Account, together with all sums on deposit therein, being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Cash Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations. The Borrower shall, at any time and from time to time at its expense, promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any further instruments and documents, and take any further actions, that may be necessary or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Cash Collateral. The Borrower shall not (i) except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement to repay Revolving Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Cash Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon any of the Cash Collateral other than Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, promptly after each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall become due and payable, to apply any and all cash on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account towards the reimbursement of the Issuer for all sums paid in respect of such drawing, and all other Obligations which shall then be due and owing.

Section 2.11 Optional Increase in Aggregate Revolving Commitment

(a) At any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) request an increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Such notice shall set forth the requested amount of the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and the date on which such increase is to become effective (which shall be not fewer than twenty days after the date of such notice), and shall offer each Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent given not more than ten Business Days after the date of the Borrower’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of ten Business Days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment). In the event that the Lenders agree to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment requested by the Borrower, then the increase will be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages, based on the Aggregate Revolving Commitment on the date of the Borrower’s notice of the requested increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. In the event that, on the tenth Business Day after the Borrower shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.11(a), the Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment requested by the Borrower, the Borrower shall have the right to agree with one or more existing Lenders that such Lender’s or Lenders’ Revolving Commitments shall be increased, or to designate one or more financial institutions not theretofore a Lender to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent). Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Lender or other financial institution of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Lender shall have a Revolving Commitment as therein set forth or such other financial institution shall become a Lender with a Revolving Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Revolving Commitment hereunder; provided that:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result therefrom;

(ii) the aggregate amount of all increases on the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall not exceed $15,000,000;

(iii) the Revolving Commitment of each such other financial institution shall be not less than $5,000,000; and

(iv) immediately after such increase is made, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall not exceed $90,000,000.

(b) Upon any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 2.11(a), the Lenders shall on the effective date of such increase, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, make appropriate adjustments among themselves in order to ensure that the amount (and Type) of the Borrowings outstanding to Borrower from each Lender under this Agreement (as of the effective date of such increase) are proportionate to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Percentages, after giving effect to any increase of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender and to any Revolving Commitment of any additional financial institution.

ARTICLE 3. INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 3.01 Interest

(a) Base Rate Borrowings shall, in each case, bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Daily LIBOR Borrowings shall, in each case, bear interest at the Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) LIBOR Borrowings shall, in each case, bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all principal of each Loan and each fee and other amount then due and payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 3.01(a), 3.01(b) or 3.01(c) or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolving Loans.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.01(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate, Daily LIBOR and LIBOR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.

Section 3.02 Interest Elections

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Credit Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Credit Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 3.02. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions

of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the applicable Lenders holding the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 3.02, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (i) by electronic transmission or (ii) by telephone and facsimile by the time that a Credit Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each electronic or telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03 and this Section 3.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing, a Daily LIBOR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request in respect of any LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Daily LIBOR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as a Default or an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Daily LIBOR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (A) each Daily LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the interest period applicable thereto and (B) each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 3.03 Fees

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent all fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Percentage, a fee (the “Commitment Fee”), during the Availability Period, computed as follows: an amount, determined periodically as hereinafter set forth, equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Margin multiplied by (ii) the average daily Available Revolving Commitment Amount during such period. The Commitment Fee shall be payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during such period, commencing on September 30, 2011, (ii) on the date of any reduction in the Revolving Commitment (to the extent of such reduction) and (iii) on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Percentage, commissions (the “Letter of Credit Fees”) with respect to standby Letters of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of each thereof through the expiration date thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans, in each case on the average daily maximum amount available under any contingency to

be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such day following the Effective Date, and on the date that the Revolving Commitments shall expire. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuer, for its own account, its standard fees and charges customarily charged to customers similar to the Borrower with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(d) The Borrower shall pay to each Credit Party, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Credit Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 3.04 Alternate Rate of Interest

In the event that the Borrower shall have requested a Daily LIBOR Loan or a LIBOR Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 or 3.02 and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have determined that: (i) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period (as the case may be) are not available to any Lender in the London interbank market; or (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting any Lender in the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily LIBOR or LIBOR applicable to the relevant Interest Period; or (iii) Daily LIBOR or LIBOR no longer adequately and fairly reflects any Lender’s cost of funding Loans, then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders under Sections 2.03 and 3.02 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for the making or continuation of Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans, or any conversion of Loans into Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans, or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for the making of a Base Rate Loan or the conversion of such Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans into a Base Rate Loan on the amount specified in such request.

Section 3.05 Increased Costs; Illegality

(a) If, after the Effective Date, any Change in Law shall:

(i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party or shall impose on any Credit Party or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans or any Credit Party’s obligation to make Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans; or

(ii) shall impose on any Credit Party any other condition affecting the Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans or any Credit Party’s obligation to make Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Credit Party of making or maintaining Daily LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Credit Party under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Credit Party to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Credit Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Credit Party, or Person controlling any Credit Party, and such Credit Party determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Revolving Commitments or the Extensions of Credit made by such Credit Party is reduced to a level below that which such Credit Party or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Credit Party to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Credit Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Credit Party or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Credit Party as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, a Credit Party may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

(c) A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in Section 3.05(a) or 3.05(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain the Revolving Loans as, or to convert the Revolving Loans into, a Daily LIBOR Loan or a LIBOR Loan, then any such Daily LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (i) all Daily LIBOR Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current interest period with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such Change in Law and (ii) all LIBOR Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such Change in Law.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.06 Break Funding Payments

Upon any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on any day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay an amount (“LIBOR Breakage Fee”), as calculated by each Lender, equal to the amount of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation any loss of margin and anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain as a result of such default or payment. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges that: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Loan, (ii) LIBOR may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (iii) the Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses incurred by such Lender. The Borrower further agrees to pay the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses, if any, whether or not such Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

Section 3.07 Taxes

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to the applicable Credit Party an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to such Credit Party evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Credit Party will equal the full amount such Credit Party would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. Moreover, if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against a Credit Party with respect to any payment received by such Credit Party hereunder, such Credit Party may pay such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Credit Party after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Credit Party would have received had not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted. If the Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to a Credit Party the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Credit Party for any incremental Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Credit Party as a result of any such failure.

(b) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to the receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (i) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent promptly submit to

the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under the then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstance which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any sums payable to such Lender. No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under this Section 3.07 (i) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 3.07(b) or (ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the provisions of this Section 3.07(b) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section 3.07(b) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts due pursuant to this Section 3.07 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate. The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 3.07(b).

(c) Upon request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction.

(d) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or back-up withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payment made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.07(d), and costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section 3.07 shall survive the termination of the Revolving Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(e) If a payment made to the Issuer or any Lender hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Credit Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Credit Party has complied with such Credit Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.07, (i) the Borrower shall have no obligation or liabilities under Section 3.07(a) with respect to any Lender that fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 3.07 and (ii) each Lender shall at all times endeavor reasonably and in good faith to minimize the obligations and liabilities, if any, of the Borrower under this Section 3.07.

Section 3.08 Mitigation Obligations

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Loans (or any participation therein) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 3.09 Defaulting Lenders

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees under Section 3.03(b) shall cease to accrue on that portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that remains unfunded;

(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which adversely affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(i) all or any part of the contingent obligations of the Lenders in respect of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 3.09(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(c) with respect to such cash collateralized portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 3.09(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.03(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentage; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 3.09(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, all fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.03(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure that is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated shall be payable to the Administrative Agent until such Letter of Credit Exposure is fully cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to issue, amend, renew, increase or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied, it its sole discretion, that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.09(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued, amended, renewed, increased or extended Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 3.09(c)(i) (and the Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as

determined by the Administrative Agent, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Borrowing and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Borrowings of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Borrowings of any Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date the Letter of Credit Exposure of Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Borrowings of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Borrowings in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. Except as expressly modified by this Section 3.09, the performance by the Borrower under any Loan Document shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of this Section 3.09.

Section 3.10 Assignment of Committed Sums Under Certain Circumstances

In the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more other financial institutions acceptable to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld), which shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any Requirement of Law and (ii) the Borrower or the assignee or assignees, as the case may be, shall pay to each affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Borrowings made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder. Upon receipt by the applicable Lender of all amounts required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 3.10, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Acceptance on behalf of such Lender, and any such Assignment and Acceptance so executed by the Administrative Agent and the assignee shall be effective for purposes of this Section 3.10 and Section 10.04. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior to the Administrative Agent’s approval of such assignment, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment cease to apply.

However, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law.

(b) If the initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever ceases to be a party to this Agreement or if the initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever resigns (whether voluntarily or at the request of the Required Lenders), then the Required Lenders shall appoint the successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders with Revolving Commitments of at least $10,000,000 (other than the resigning the Administrative Agent). If the Required Lenders fail to appoint a successor Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent has given notice of resignation or the Required Lenders have removed the resigning Administrative Agent, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that no such consent shall be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (as shown on its most recently published statement of condition). Upon its acceptance of appointment as successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and benefits of the prior Administrative Agent, and the prior Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (but, when used in connection with Letters of Credit issued and outstanding before the appointment of the successor Administrative Agent, the “Administrative Agent” shall continue to refer solely to RBS Citizens, N.A.), and each Lender shall execute such documents as any Lender, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent, or the successor Administrative Agent reasonably request to reflect the change. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

(c) RBS Citizens, N.A., in its capacity as a Lender, has the same rights, remedies, powers, privileges and benefits under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise those rights, remedies, powers, privileges and benefits as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent; the term “Lender” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include RBS Citizens, N.A.; and RBS Citizens, N.A.’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent shall not impair or otherwise affect any rights, remedies, powers, privileges or benefits that it has or may have in its capacity as a Lender. Each Lender and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary for the Lenders or for the Borrower but simply is acting in the capacity described in this Agreement to alleviate administrative burdens for the Borrower and the Lenders, that the Administrative Agent has no duties or responsibilities to the Lenders or the Borrower except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and that RBS Citizens, N.A. in its capacity as a Lender has all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and benefits of any other Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent may now or hereafter be engaged in one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing or other financing transaction with the Borrower, act as trustee or depositary for the Borrower, or otherwise be engaged in other transactions with the Borrower (the “other activities”) not the subject of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and benefits of the Lenders specifically set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is not responsible to account to the Lenders for those other activities, and no Lender shall have any interest in any other activities, any present or future guaranties by or for the account of the Borrower that are not contemplated or included in the Loan Documents, any present or future offset exercised by the Administrative Agent in respect of those other activities, any present or future property taken as security for any of those other activities, or any property now or hereafter in the Administrative Agent’s possession or control that may be or become security for the obligations of the Borrower arising under the Loan Documents by reason of the general description of indebtedness secured or of property contained in any other agreements, documents, or instruments related to any of those other activities (but, if any payments in respect of those guaranties or that property or the proceeds thereof is applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the Obligation, then each Lender is entitled to share ratably in the application as provided in the Loan Documents).

Section 9.02 Expenses

Each Lender shall pay its pro rata share of any reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other costs of collection) incurred by the Administrative Agent (while acting in such capacity) in connection with any of the Loan Documents if the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed from other sources within thirty (30) days after incurrence. Each Lender is entitled to receive its pro rata share of any reimbursement that it makes to the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent is subsequently reimbursed from other sources.

Section 9.03 Proportionate Absorption of Losses

Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, nothing in the Loan Documents gives any Lender any advantage over any other Lender insofar as the Obligations are concerned or to relieve any Lender from ratably absorbing any losses sustained with respect to the Obligations (except to the extent unilateral actions or inactions by any Lender result in the Borrower or any other obligor on the Obligations having any credit, allowance, setoff, defense, or counterclaim solely with respect to all or any part of that Lender’s pro rata share of the Obligations).

Section 9.04 Delegation of Duties; Reliance

The Lenders may perform any of their duties or exercise any of their rights, remedies, powers, privileges and benefits under the Loan Documents by or through the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may perform any of their duties or exercise any of their rights, remedies, powers, privileges and benefits under the Loan Documents by or through their respective representatives, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective representatives, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (a) are entitled to rely upon (and shall be protected in relying upon) any written or oral statement believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or made by the proper Person and, with respect to legal matters, upon opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (but nothing in this clause (a) shall permit the Administrative Agent to rely on (i) oral statements if a writing is required by this Agreement or (ii) any other writing if a specific writing is required by this Agreement), (b) are entitled to deem and treat each Lender as the owner and holder of its Revolving Commitment and its Extensions of Credit for all purposes until, subject to Section 10.04, written notice of the assignment or transfer is given to and received by the Administrative Agent (and any request, authorization, consent or approval of any Lender is conclusive and binding on each subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of, or a Participant in, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Extensions of Credit until that notice is given and received), (c) are not deemed to have notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless a responsible officer of the Administrative Agent, who handles matters associated with the Loan Documents and the transactions thereunder, has actual knowledge or the Administrative Agent has been notified by a Lender or the Borrower, and (d) are entitled to consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent and are not liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05 Limitation of the Administrative Agent’s Liability

(a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its representatives, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under the Loan Documents in good faith and believed by it or them to be within the discretion or power conferred upon it or them by the Loan Documents or be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment (except for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct), and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its representatives, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by virtue of the Loan Documents (but nothing in this Agreement negates the obligation of the Administrative Agent to account for funds received by it for the account of any Lender).

(b) Unless indemnified to its satisfaction, the Administrative Agent may not be compelled to do any act under the Loan Documents or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the powers thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Loan Documents. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Lenders, or Required Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action in connection with any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is entitled to refrain (without incurring any liability to any Person by so refraining) from that act or action unless and until it has received instructions. In no event, however, may the Administrative Agent or any of its representatives, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents be required to take any action that it or they determine could incur for it or them criminal or onerous civil liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender has any right of action against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement in accordance with instructions of Required Lenders, or, if unanimity is required, in accordance with instructions of all Lenders.

(c) The Administrative Agent is not responsible to any Lender or any Participant for, and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon the Administrative Agent in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Guarantor and the risks involved to such Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or due execution of any Loan Document (other than by the Administrative Agent), (iii) any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or statement made therein (other than by the Administrative Agent) or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (iv) the adequacy of any collateral now or hereafter securing the Obligations or the existence, priority or perfection of any Lien now or hereafter granted or purported to be granted on the collateral under any Loan Document, or (v) the observance of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor. EACH LENDER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS AND HOLD THEM HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST (BUT LIMITED TO SUCH LENDER’S PRO RATA SHARE OF) ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, REASONABLE EXPENSES, AND REASONABLE DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, ASSERTED AGAINST, OR INCURRED BY THEM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THEM UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH AMOUNTS BY THE BORROWER. ALTHOUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,

EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

The Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Article 9 and of Section 10.03(b) shall apply to any the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 9 and of Section 10.03(b) shall apply to each such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of each such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent and/or an Appointing Sub-Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Borrower and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, an Appointing Sub-Agent and not to the Borrower, Lender or any other Person and the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person shall not have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Administrative Agent shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents and for any actions and/or omissions by any agent and/or sub-agent of the Administrative Agent and (y) the Administrative Agent’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and benefits and obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged.

Section 9.07 Default; Collateral

If the Administrative Agent receives notice of a Default or an Event of Default from the Borrower or any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Default or Event of Default and the Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and benefits of the Lenders. Unless and until the Administrative Agent receives directions from the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person for so refraining), provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent has received such directions, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, take such actions as it deems appropriate without the direction of the Required Lenders in circumstances where the ability of the Lenders to recover the Obligations may otherwise be materially impaired. In actions with respect to

any property of the Borrower or any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall hold, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders, any security it receives for the Obligations or any guaranty of the Obligations it receives upon or in lieu of foreclosure.

Section 9.08 Limitation of Liability

No Lender or any Participant will incur any liability to any other Lender or Participant except for acts or omissions in bad faith, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Participant will incur any liability to any other Person for any act or omission of any other Lender or any Participant.

Section 9.09 Relationship of Lenders

The Loan Documents, and the documents delivered in connection therewith, do not create a partnership or joint venture among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or among the Lenders.

Section 9.10 Other Agents

None of the banks or other Persons identified on the cover page of this Agreement, in the preamble to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “collateral agent”, “syndication agent”, “documentation agent”, “lead arranger” or “joint lead arranger” (collectively, the “Other Agents”) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Other Agents in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder or pursuant hereto.

Section 9.11 Collateral Matters

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent concerning any Collateral with the consent of, or at the request of, the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent (with the consent of, or at the request of, the Required Lenders) of powers concerning the Collateral set forth in any Loan Document, together with other reasonably incidental powers, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders.

(b) The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time before a Default or an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Security Documents that may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted by the Security Documents.

(c) The Administrative Agent has no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any Guarantor or is cared for or protected.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care and prudent judgment with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents as it normally and customarily exercises in respect of similar collateral and security documents.

(e) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon full payment of the Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of as permitted under Section 7.05, if the Administrative Agent determines that the property being sold or disposed is being sold or disposed in accordance with the requirements and limitations of Section 7.05 and the Administrative Agent concurrently receives all mandatory prepayments with respect thereto, if any, in accordance with Section 7.05; (iii) constituting property in which the Borrower nor any Guarantor owned any interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to the Borrower or a Guarantor under a lease that has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and that has not been, and is not intended by the Borrower or any Guarantor to be, renewed; (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing Indebtedness pledged to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders), if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders subject to Section 10.02. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral under this Section 9.11(e).

Section 9.12 Benefits of Agreement

None of the provisions of this Article 9 inure to the benefit of the Borrower or any other Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; consequently, none of the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any other Person is entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with these provisions.

(c) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 2 or 3 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Extension of Credit, or reduce the rate of interest thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or reduce the amount of any scheduled reduction of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Credit Party affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Extension of Credit, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of reduction or expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Credit Party affected thereby, (iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Credit Party, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender or (vi) release of any substantial portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Loan Documents (except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Security Agreement), without the consent of each Lender, and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuer hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuer, as the case may be.

Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby

shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than Taxes) incurred by any Credit Party, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel (including any in-house counsel, whether or not on an out-of-pocket basis) for any Credit Party, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or in connection with the Extensions of Credit made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Extensions of Credit or during any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Extensions of Credit or the use of the proceeds, (iii) any Lender’s Environmental Liability or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or that such indemnity relates to Taxes.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under Section 10.03(a) or 10.03(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the product of such unpaid amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment (or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the such Lender’s Revolving Exposure) and the denominator of which is the sum of the total of all Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure, and in each case determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable promptly but in no event later than thirty days after written demand therefor.

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written

consent of each Credit Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it), provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of a Lender, the Borrower, the Issuer and the Administrative Agent shall give its prior written consent to such assignment (such consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment, the amount of the Revolving Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not in each case be less than $5,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance together with, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, and provided further, that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this Section 10.04(b) shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under the Loan Documents that does not comply with this Section 10.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of the Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, an assignee Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.05 or 3.07 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest so assigned unless the assignment of such interest is made with the Borrower’ prior written consent

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitment of, and principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower and each Credit Party may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Credit Party, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the

assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any Credit Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower (each such bank or other entity being called a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans owing to it), provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.04(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05 and 3.06 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.05 or 3.07 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.07 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.07(b) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.05 Survival

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long

as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to any Credit Party constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Severability

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that they may have.

Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the

United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 10.11 Headings

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Interest Rate Limitation

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect of such

Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.13 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise, then, to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 10.14 No Third Parties Benefited

This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Disclosed Matters

The Net Lease Agreement dated June 12, 2009 and October 4, 2010, by and between Computer Access Technology Corporation and Cooperage-Rose Properties II with regard to the property at 3385 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, California and between LeCroy Corporation and Cooperage-Rose Properties I with regard to the property at 3375 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, California, respectively, contains provisions allocating liability in connection with hazardous substances and environmental matters.

LeCroy Corporation’s (“LeCroy”) former subsidiary, Digitech Industries, Inc., was notified prior to 1999 by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (the “DEP”) that it may be responsible for the environmental damage that occurred at its previously leased facilities in Ridgefield, Connecticut (the “Ridgefield Site”). Based upon recommendations made by the DEP, Digitech engaged environmental consultants to assist it in evaluation the costs associated with the DEP’s recommendations for monitoring and remediation of the environmental damage. In May 1999, LeCroy Digitech and the former owners of the Ridgefield Site entered into an agreement with the current owners of the Ridgefield Site. The current owners have purchased an insurance policy providing for $2.0 million of coverage against certain environmental liabilities related to the Ridgefield Site. This insurance policy names both LeCroy and Digitech as insured parties. The current owners of the Ridgefield Site have also agreed to remediate all environmental problems associated with the property and to obtain all applicable approvals and certifications from the DEP. The current owners of the Ridgefield Site have also agreed to hold both LeCroy and Digitech harmless in the event of a claim made against them relating to these environmental matters. In return for this, forty-five days after the DEP has provided written notification to the Company that the site remediation has been accomplished to its satisfaction, the Company agreed to pay the former owners of the Ridgefield Site $0.2 million as compensation for the reduced sale value of the property due to the environmental problems existing on the site. The Company has retained this liability after the sale of the Vigilant segment and the residual assets of Digitech.

On May 17, 2011 LeCroy received notice from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regarding a former employee filing a complaint alleging discrimination based on religion and national origin.
